In 215, Liu Bei sent generals to march to the lower defense, and Cao Zhen led his troops to defeat Liu Bei's other generals as a partial general and was promoted to a backbone general. Later, Cao Zhen returned to Chang'an with the army and served as the leader of the army.

In 219, Xiahou Yuan was killed in battle, Cao Cao was very worried, and appointed Cao Zhen as the protector of Shu, and supervised Xu Huang and others to defeat Liu Bei's general Gao Xiang in Yangping. Later, Cao Cao personally went to Hanzhong, withdrew the troops, and asked Cao Zhen to go to Wudu to meet Cao Hong and others to return to Chencang.

In 220, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and appointed Cao Zhen as the general of Zhenxi, and supervised the military of Yong and Liangzhou in the fake festival. Zhang Jin and others rebelled in Jiuquan, and Cao Zhen sent the general Fei Yao to conquer, win, and kill Zhang Jin and others.

Later, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang and others conquered Sun Quan, attacked Niu Zhutun, won, and turned to the general of the Chinese army, and added to the matter.

In 226, Cao Pi was seriously ill, and Cao Zhen, Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others were bequeathed and assisted by the government. After Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming succeeded to the throne, Cao Zhen entered the title of Marquis of Shaoling and was promoted to general.

In 228, Shu Prime Minister Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan, and the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding rebelled in response to Zhuge Liang. Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming sent Cao Zhen to supervise the army to Yicheng and defeated the Shu generals Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi in the Xiegu. The people of Anding, Yang Tiao, and others coerced the local officials to occupy Yuezhi City, and Cao Zhen marched into besieging the city. Yang Tiaowen General Cao Zhen came in person and surrendered by himself. The three rebellious counties were all pacified, and Cao Zhen expected that Zhuge Liang would definitely attack from Chencang next time, so he sent generals Hao Zhao and Wang Sheng to guard Chencang and build a city.

In 229, Zhuge Liang really besieged Chencang, because Wei had already prepared and could not conquer it. Cao Zhen increased his capital because of his merits, and there were a total of 2,900 households in front of him.

In 230, Cao Zhen went to Luoyang to meet the emperor, was promoted to the rank of Great Sima, and was given a sword to go to the palace. Cao Zhen suggested that Shu be cut, and Cao Rui approved, so in August of the same year, Cao Zhen sent troops from Chang'an and entered the south from the Meridian Road.

He Yan (?-249), the character Pingshu. A native of Nanyang Wan (now Nanyang, Henan). During the Three Kingdoms period, he was a metaphysician and minister of the Wei State. The grandson of the Eastern Han Dynasty general He Jin ("Wei Luo" believes that he may be the grandson of He Jin's younger brother He Miao). His father died early, and Cao Cao accepted his mother Yin as a concubine, so He Yan was adopted and favored by Cao Cao. When he was a teenager, he was famous for his talent, liked the words of Lao and Zhuang, and married Cao Cao's daughter Princess Jinxiang.

Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, was not given an official position during his reign. Emperor Cao Rui of the Ming Dynasty thought that he was vain and untrue, and only granted him the position of redundant official. During the Zhengshi (240-249) period, Cao Shuang was in power, He Yan was attached to Cao Shuang, tired of officials and servants, officials and officials, pawn elections, and feudal marquis. After the change of Gao Pingling, he and Cao Shuang were killed by Sima Yi and wiped out the three clans.

There are eleven volumes of anthologies. He co-authored with Zheng Chong and others the "Analects of the Analects". Zhong Rong's "Poems" said, "Uncle Ping's chapter, the wind rules are visible." He Yanshi was included in the middle grade. Yuan Hong referred to He Yan and others as the first famous man in "The Biography of Famous Scholars". He advocated metaphysics with Xiahou Xuan, Wang Bi and others, competed and talked about things, and then opened up a trend for a while, and was one of the founders of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

He Yan was the grandson of He Jin, a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao married his mother Yin when he was Sikong, and adopted He Yan together. At that time, Qin Yilu's son Asu (i.e., Qin Lang) was also in the public house with his mother, and He Yan was favored by Cao Cao and treated them like sons. Qin Lang has a cautious personality, but He Yan has no scruples, and the clothes he wears are similar to those of Shizi, so Cao Pi is very disgusted with him, and he doesn't call him by name or character every time, and once calls him a "fake son". He Yan was outstanding in his youth and married Cao Cao's daughter, Princess Jinxiang, but he was lustful, so he did not serve as an official during the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei (220-226).

He Yan and Shi Dongping, the assassin of Bingzhou, Bi Liang and Deng Yang, Li Sheng, Ding Mi, etc., are famous, but they are eager to become rich and noble, and tend to be inflammatory, after Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming succeeded to the throne, he hated them for being vain and untrue, and they were all suppressed and not hired, and He Yan only served as some redundant officials.

In the first month of 239 A.D. (the third year of the beginning of the Jing Dynasty), Cao Rui died and was succeeded by the crown prince Cao Fang. At that time, the general Cao Shuang and the Taiwei Sima Yi assisted the government, Cao Shuang has always been close and friendly with He Yan and others, and when he took power and assisted the government, and because of He Yan's talent, he immediately recommended and promoted He Yan and others to become his henchmen. He Yan and others all jointly recommended Cao Shuang, believing that power could not be entrusted to others. Ding Mi gave advice to Cao Shuang, and asked Cao Shuang to tell Cao Fang to issue an edict and reappoint Sima Yi as the Taifu.

He Yan was first appointed as a loose horseman, and soon after, Cao Shuang was transferred to Lu Yu, the secretary of the ministry, as the servant of the secretary, and let He Yan replace him as the secretary of the ministry, and He Yan was given a knighthood because of his status as a horse. He Yan and others relied on Cao Shuang's forces to do things, those who catered to them were promoted, those who disobeyed were deposed and reprimanded, and both inside and outside the court acted according to the direction of the wind, and did not dare to disobey their will. He Yan also cut hundreds of acres of mulberry fields and Tangmu land in Luoyang and Yewang Diannong as his own property, and stole official property, demanding from other states and counties, but the officials did not dare to resist. Fu Yan, the squire of the Yellow Gate, said to Cao Shuang's brother Cao Xi: "He Yan is quiet on the outside but impetuous on the inside, clever in taking good profits, and not seeking business, I am afraid that he will tempt your brothers first, and the people with lofty ideals will be far away, and the government will be abandoned." He Yan was dissatisfied with Fu Yan and removed him from his official position for trivial matters.

In 247 A.D. (the eighth year of Zhengshi), Cao Shuang adopted the strategy of He Yan and others, moved the Empress Dowager Guo to Yongning Palace, and began to monopolize the power of the court. Sima Yi was no longer able to grasp power in this situation, and he was afraid of being persecuted again in the court, so he began to avoid illness in May of the same year. At that time, Cao Fang liked to be lucky to get close to a group of villains, and had fun and feasting in the back garden. In July of the same year, He Yan Shangshu said: "From now on, when the emperor goes to the Shiqian Hall or to the back garden for recreation, there should be ministers to follow, so that he can inquire and discuss political affairs, explain and discuss the righteousness of the scriptures, and be emulated by generations to come." In December, Kong Yi, a freelancer and counselor, also advised Cao Fang, but Cao Fang did not listen to their opinions.

At that time, the slanderous book said, "There are three dogs in Taiwan, two dogs can't be used as firewood, and one dog is silent." "The three dogs refer to He Yan, Deng Yang and Ding Mi, and Mo is Cao Shuang's small characters. This means that the three dogs all want to bite, and Ding Mi is the most vicious.

In the first month of 249 A.D. (the first ten years), the Gaopingling Rebellion occurred, and when Sima Yi accompanied Cao Fang to visit the Gaopingling Tomb of Emperor Wei Ming with Cao Shuang's brothers, he staged a coup d'état, closed Luoyang City and occupied the military camps of Cao Shuang and Cao Xi. Cao Shuang eventually surrendered to Sima Yi and handed over power.

According to the record of "Wei's Spring and Autumn Period": After the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yi asked He Yan to participate in the management of the case of Cao Shuang and others. He Yan thoroughly investigated Cao Shuang's henchmen and wanted to be dismissed. Sima Yi said: "There are eight tribes [involved]." He Yan excluded seven surnames such as Ding and Deng. Sima Yi said, "It's not over yet." He Yan was poor and urgent, so he said, "Is it me?" Sima Yi said, "Yes." So He Yan was taken into custody.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Sima Yi exterminated He Yan and Cao Shuang together for the crime of treason.

Yuan Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty called He Yan, Xiahou Xuan, and Wang Bi as the first celebrities in the "Biography of Famous Scholars".

Qin Lang (year of birth and death unknown), the character Yuanming, the small character Asu (also known as Asu), Xinxing (now Xinzhou, Shanxi) Yunzhong people. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei was a general, and the official was the general of Xiaocai, and during the matter, he led his troops to crusade against the rebels of Xianbei Kebineng and Budugen. is Cao Cao's adopted son.

Qin Lang's father, Qin Yilu, was a subordinate of Lu Bu and was ordered to send an envoy to Yuan Shu, who married the daughter of the Han Dynasty clan to him. His ex-wife, Mrs. Du, and son Qin Lang stayed in Xiapi. In the third year of Jian'an (198), Cao Cao besieged Lü Buyu in Xiapi, and Guan Yu asked to marry Du. Cao Cao saw Du's beauty and accepted himself as a concubine. Qin Yilu surrendered to Cao Cao and served as the magistrate of Xuan County (now Suixi County, Anhui Province). Liu Bei's general Zhang Fei instigated Qin Yilu to rebel against Cao with the revenge of taking his wife. Yilu ran away with Zhang Fei, but soon repented and was killed by Zhang Fei. Qin Lang lives in Cao Mansion with his mother, and his words and deeds are cautious and low-key. Cao Cao liked Qin Lang very much, and once said to the guests: "Is there anyone in the world who loves his stepson like me?"

Qin Lang traveled around when he grew up and never served as an official. Until the first year of Taihe (227), after Cao Rui ascended the throne, Qin Lang was called to be the general of the cavalry, to give the matter, and often accompanied Cao Rui on trips. At that time, Cao Rui liked to cite people's crimes, and even several criminals were about to be executed for minor negligence; Qin Lang saw that Cao Rui was not admonished by these things, and he did not recommend a virtuous person for the imperial court, but Qin Lang has always been favored by Cao Rui, and often asked his opinion. Although the others knew that Qin Lang was not very talented, because he was close to the emperor, they often bribed him, so that Qin Lang's wealth was comparable to those famous ministers and generals who held high positions in the court and were knighted.

In the first year of Qinglong (233), the Xianbei Lord Bu Dugen, who was originally subservient to Cao Wei, colluded with the Xianbei Lord Ke Bineng, who had been against Cao Wei, and the state assassin Shi Bi Rail found out and went to the table to crusade, but in the end, he was defeated, but instead made Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng more united and jointly invaded Cao Wei Border County. Cao Rui then sent Qin Lang to lead the central troops to crusade against them. In the end, Qin Lang defeated the Xianbei army, Kebineng and Budugen were defeated and went to Mobei, and in the winter and October of the same year, the Budugen general Daihu Wolf Ni, who had defected from Cao Wei after the defeat of the Bingzhou army, also surrendered to Bingzhou, and Qin Lang withdrew his army.

In the winter and December of the second year of the early Jing Dynasty (238 AD), Cao Rui was seriously ill, worshiped Cao Yu as a general, and assisted the government with Xiahou Xian, Cao Shuang, Cao Zhao and Qin Lang, and instructed the future.

Liu Fang and Sun Zi have been in charge of the country's secrets for a long time, and Xiahou Xian and Cao Zhao are angry in their hearts. A chicken flew up the tree in the temple, and the two said to each other, "This is too long, see how many days they will live!" Liu Fang and Sun Zi were afraid of future troubles, so they privately wanted to separate themselves and persuade Cao Rui to change the edict and make Cao Shuang the general and the assistant to the imperial lieutenant Sima Yi. And Qin Lang and the others were all dismissed from office, and they were not allowed to enter the palace province, and Qin Lang and the others burst into tears.
